| I don't think the RMVB container allows for subtitle streams, so the subs are probably burned into the video - meaning you'll have to OCR these subtitles as well. Two problems, though:
1) I'm not sure any of the OCR programs accepts RMVBs. 2) Even if they do accept RMVBs, Real formats tend to be highly compressed, and that might make OCRing the subs even more of a chore. You're still better off trying to find the subtitles through a web or subtitle search engine search. :) |

| But oh, yes, the RM(VB) container does support embedded subtitles. :)
There exists a free tool (rmsubmux) for adding text subtitles to RM files, however I don't know if RealProducer is capable of extracting them. :?: Maybe you can remux the original .RM into a .MKV with mkvmerge, and later extract the subtitle stream with mkvextract. :idea: HTH. |

| That assumes that
a) The subtitles are in fact embedded and not hard subs (facts not in evidence at this time, your honour), and b) MKVMerge will read embedded subs from am RM file when converting it into an MKV file (something I admittedly have not attempted because I don't bother with the RM format) |

| @ guns1inger:
Thanks for the pertinent comments. Sadly you're right, mkvmerge doesn't detect the embedded subtitles in RealMedia files. :( ==================================== UPDATE: I have found a way to extract the subtitles embedded in RM files. 8) 1) open the file in GraphEdit or GraphStudio ; 2) connect the subtitle pin from the RealMedia Splitter to the Dump filter ; 3) "play" the graph. P.S.: Too bad the OP doesn't give a damn about our efforts to try to help him. (Yes, he was browsing this thread a couple of minutes ago, now=15:40 GMT). :x Hopefully all this info will help other people. |
